Just curious, I haven't heard much about him since his injury.

I never heard exactly what was wrong with him outside of a foot injury. Unless he broke something or torn something, he should be close to getting healed up by Jan 1. However, I wouldn't push it and rush him back just for the bowl game. Next season is more important than this bowl game for BT15.

I know last week there was an article about injuries, and Les said Taylor would not participate in spring drills, but Montgomery might. That gave me the impression that maybe Taylor had some sort of Matt Mauck-type of injury where there was a dislocation plus torn ligament/tendons in his foot.

Does anyone out there know what the injury is?

Right. Montgomery had serious knee ligament surgery.

I read somewhere it was a Lisfranc fracture. I think it was on the Advocate.

The Lisfranc fracture is a fracture and dislocation of the joints in the midfoot, where a cluster of small bones forms an arch on top of the foot between the ankle and the toes. From this cluster, five long bones, the metatarsals, extend until the toes. It is named after 18th- and 19th-century surgeon and gynecologist Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin."

Treatment options include operative or non-operative treatment. If the dislocation is less than 2 mm, the fracture can be managed with casting for 6 weeks. The patient's injured limb cannot bear weight during this period. For operative treatment, screws +/- k-wire will be used for internal fixation of the fracture after closed or more likely open reduction. Again, the patient's injured limb should not bear weight for approximately 6-12 weeks. The screws/k-wires are usually removed later, sometimes before weight bearing.

As good as Eric Reid will be, the loss of Taylor was a hit to the defense. Hope he's back soon.
